Dean, I haven't had to take any fibre post op - probably because I don't eat enough Protein and why I am now anaemic!! I would suggest asking your dietician or surgeon first. I have also been contemplating one of those expensive juicers since I have spent all of my Christmas break in bed watching TVSN and shopping online. Without sounding like an advertisement for TVSN, they have the Vitamix for $995 with part payments. I would love this but then I am a kitchen gadget person. My kids are complaining that we don't have a juicer anymore. Let me know if you get one.

Hey' date=' do you guys do any fibre supplementation?

I haven't been as regular as pre surgery, which isn't surprising my diet at the moment is really high Protein. I should eat more vegetables but I can't seem to fit it in.

The last two days I've taken a single 2/3 dose of Metamucil mid morning. I was worried about a full dose exceeding the size of my stomach. I've also been thinking about getting a Vitamix.

What do you guys do?

Hi Dean, like you I am eating my Protein first and don't fit in much salad or vege, but I have fruit and Water as well as grainy carbs and don't have a problem with fibre.

I've look at Thermomix and they are amazing but expensive. You can make anything in them from ice cream to Soup a

Or a roast to salad. I would love one, but more useful for a family to use then just the two of us.

Maybe I need to be not so Protein focused and have some grainy carbs. It's bizzare not craving carbs. Because there's not interest in carbs anymore I just don't think to eat them!

Hi Dean, are you seeing a dietician? Mine told me that I must have a min of 3serves of grainy carbs each day and that is the most important thing to stay regular, plus it gives you the energy you need. Too much Protein will definitely clog you up!

Hey Kelli. I've seen a dietician twice. Once pre surgery and then two weeks post.

I'm 8 weeks post op today (26kgs down, yeah!) And I'm due to see her at the 3 month mark, but I think I might try and get in earlier. Thanks for all the advice - a big help.

Have a great day,

Deano

Good idea, I saw mine twice before surgery then 4 times in the 5 weeks after surgery as it was a six visit program. It was invaluable advice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
